Jim Bell, brave and fearless sol
dier. lie partially lost his eye-sight
in the army, and after the surrender
returned to this county, penniless
and almost friendless. lie was una
BILE to earn livelihood, and for
considerable while existed in sort
OF hand-to- mouths fashion. Event
ually he was sent to the poor house,
where for many years he has eked
an existence. II was thought, too,
for a while that an early disappoint-
ment in love affairs would add even
greater aflliction to the old mans
already numerous troubles, but all
fears on this score were soon dis
PEELED or forgotten.
Fortune at last, however, has
smiled bountifully upon the ill-fated
old war-horse, and the evening Of
life will be crowned with plenty, and
the shadows dissipated by the sun
light of tho long-dreamed of congen-
ial felicity. As is generally known,
having been previously stated
through these columns, the subject
of this sketch was recentlA placed on
the pension list, receiving about
$4,000 as back pay and voucher for
$50 per month during the rimainder
of his days. This. of course, enabled
the hero of so many bloodless battles
10 shake off the yoke of pauperisn
which had held him fast for SO many
years.
And just here comes in the romance
of the story. The ''love disappoin T.
ment' previously referred to, is ex-
planned in this way. In the same
county poor house, where Mr.. Bell
had lived for so long as pauper,
was one Mrs. Polly Ann Shea, who,
in former years, had given Mr.. Boil
what the young bloods of the present
day would term the "grand bounce"
Mrs. Shea's husband having deserted |
her years ago, she too was thrown
upon the charities of the county. |
Imagine, If you can, the feeling of
these old people, who in youth had
been ardent lovers, meeting thirty !
years later as inmates of the same
poor house. Whatever ill-feeling
that had previously existed on ac-
count of an aucient lovers quarrel |
was here forgotten, however, and |
thereafter the two old souls whiled |
away their only pleasant hours living
over, in retrospect, their past lives.
When fortune at length smiled |
upon Mr.. Bell, he did not forget his
old friend and sweetheart of his
youth, who less fortunate than him
self, was still compelled TO ask aims
at the hands of the county. oh, no,
he did not forget her, but on yester-
day procured license for the marriage
OF Jno. Jim Bell to Mrs. Polly Ann
Shea, and late that evening, just as
the setting sun fell upon the earth
like a gentle benediction, the engage
ment, entered into nearly forty years
since, was solemnized in the presence
of several witnesses.

BUSINESS AND MINING NOTES.
NeYada's PrOsperIty-S Soda for the
WOrId-Sundry Items.

\ correspondent in BradsireePs savs.of
Nevada: THE State was never more
prosperous than at present. The influx
Of Eastern and foreign capital has worked
wonders in the way of developing her
vast agricultural and mining resources. &"
Reduction works, nearly completed, and
more in prospect, will utilize the large
bodies OF low grade ore exposed in differ
ent districts, but hitherto useless on ac-
count OF the cost Of transportation to
market. Under the present system of
concentration, large bodies Of low-grade
are being worked, and the Comstock
mills are doing profitable work on 500
ore. 1t is calculated that the Con. Cal
u Va. bonanza will average $50 per ton,
which Will assure an era Of dividends.
Solid blocks OF soda can be quarried in
parts Of Nevada. Immigrants who crossed
the plains in early days gathered the dry
soda found in alkai flats for the purpose
OF making bread, but supposed that the
SOLID article was ice, protected from the
heat Of summer by a covering OF soil.

AFTER THE CHIPPIES.
The Latest Immodest Girl Before
Judge Piper.

For many weeks past the police have
been waging an unrelenting war against
that class OF frail females commonly
known as "chippies." Since the maisoas
de jOie were closed, they are becoming
more numerous than ever and the ftreets
seem to be crowded with them, day and
night.
The latest arrest made was that of
May Adams, maiden of Swed-
lsh persuasion, who has, of late,
been too frequent habitue OF a certain
disreputable Second South street saloon,
and has also been seen very often on the
street at night
May was araigned in the Police Court
this afternoon, and entered plea of not
guilty. The evidence introduced by the
prosecution simply went to show that
though the girl has a home, she does not
spend much of her time there, but is
given to associating with men of ques-
tionable character. When the police
went TO arrest her they found man in
her room with her, and they thought that
her reputation was that OF Il common
prostitute.
The case was argued by Mr. Ferguson,
for the prosecution, and by Mr.. Watrons,
for the defense, and had not been de
clded when our report closed.

ceased from some OF the more inaccessl-
BILE mines, the mining camps are busy in
the work of development, and the coming
season promises to be one of the best this
Territory has enjoyed for. long time.
The famous mines in Little Cottonwood
and elsewhere, from which shipments
from surface deposits have ceased for
months past, are being tapped by long
tunnels at great depth, and the coming
spring will probably witness large ship
ments from the Horn Silver, New Emma,
Flagstaff and Frederic and Crown Point.
In the dawning light OF coming political
events, business and mining activities
will be largely increased in the coming
summer.

that two speeches will be made upon it,

was no further news from Washington.

bill is before the House for consideration
